The forest and streams provide a living laboratory for students and faculty to participate in teaching and research. Lullwater House, situated on a hill within the preserve, is the site of the President’s home, while the surrounding grounds serve as a recreation area for walkers, bicyclists and joggers. Most importantly, Lullwater is a place of solitude and retreat that enables visitors to reinvigo- rate mind, body and spirit. But Lullwater is in need of regeneration. In 2000, President William M. Chace established the Lullwater Task Force to “oversee, man- age and protect the land,” but the group’s work was hindered by the absence of a plan to help inform and guide its decision making. At the request of the University Senate Committee on the Environ- ment (COE), Robert Hascall, Sr. Associate Vice President of Facilities Management, brought together members of the COE and the Lullwater Task Force to develop a comprehensive management plan. Subsequent research conducted by the COE/Lullwater Task Force Subcommittee clearly demonstrates that the growth in development and population along Lullwater’s borders, and the human presence within, has steadily weakened the preserve’s ecological health. Even without further development along the edges that protect the preserve, human visitors, and their pets and vehicles, disturb the lives and habitats of birds and other animals. The spread of invasive species is progressively eliminating native vegetation, and stormwater runoff from outside of Lullwater constantly erodes the stream beds, destroys aquatic life, and silts up the lake. Action needs to be taken immediately within these critical areas (see “Priority Recommenda- tions”) in order to ensure that Lullwater does not suffer irreversible damage from circumstances that can be prevented and/or controlled. In order for the Lullwater Task Force to fulfill its mission, the University needs to provide the task force with the budget, resources, and expertise required to effectively perform its responsibilities. The subcommittee recognizes that fulfilling its priority recommendations alone will represent a significant commitment of resources from the University. But the subcommittee believes that vast, untapped resources and opportunities exist in the areas of fund-raising and grant sponsorship that can help defray the costs associated with caring for Lullwater. As evidenced by a 1999 survey by Emory’s Committee on Traditions and Community Ties, Lullwater represents a strong emotional connection for alumni, faculty, staff and students, providing a wellspring of potential, tangible support for the preserve. The subcommittee recommends that the Lullwater Task Force work with representatives from Institutional Advancement, and other appropriate university officers, to explore potential and promis- ing sources of funding and support for Lullwater. The Lullwater Comprehensive Management Plan is designed to be a living, “breathing,” document that will be referenced often, augmented frequently with new research, and updated as the University fulfills its responsibility to take care of this land. By using the plan in this fashion, the Emory community can ensure that Lullwater’s integrity truly is preserved for current and future generations by sustaining a balance between the land’s eco- logical health and its human use. Development of a Lullwater Comprehensive Management Plan The COE/Lullwater Task Force Subcommittee, comprised of staff, faculty and student repre- 5 sentatives, began working in May 2001 to: • Inventory the current ecological health of Lullwater, i.e., the state of vegetation, wildlife and streams. • Review all available data on the numbers of people regularly visiting Lullwater to determine the type of use and where activities are concentrated within the preserve. • Examine current guidelines for accessing Lullwater’s resources, including the campus forest use policy, and document problems that may have occurred regarding enforcement of these guidelines. • Propose a plan for restoring the ecological health of Lullwater and managing sustainable human use of the preserve. Based on the subcommittee’s research, members Tim Bryson, Jacob Halcomb, James Johnson, Nancy Seideman and John Wegner drafted the attached report, which has been reviewed and ap- proved by the entire subcommittee. The report outlines the current health and status of Lullwater in various areas, and includes a list of recommendations for addressing current and future challenges facing the preserve. Categories covered are: Streams/Lake; Native Plant Habitat; Invasive Species; Wildlife; Teaching and Research; Recreation; and Residential. Also included is a brief history of Lullwater, which provides an overview of the forces that have helped to shape and reshape the land. General Recommendations The attached report describes conditions in Lullwater according to major categories of concern, offers general principles for management, where appropriate, and makes specific recommendations for assessment, remediation, preservation,

To watch his last lecture, visit bit.ly/foster-lecture . Never one to shy away from a fashion statement, Stan Foster 82MPH swept into the Rollins Auditorium wearing a golden cap and ceremonial African robe shot through with gold threads worthy of the occasion. The global health professor worked his way through the room, shaking hands with the many friends who gathered at Rollins in April for his last lecture, marking his retirement at age 80. Here were many of the giants of public health with whom Foster had worked on smallpox eradication in Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Somalia, along with students, past and present, whom he had inspired. On the front row was Dorothy "Dottie" Foster, Stan's wife and collaborator of 57 years. Theirs has been a life of service, answering needs in communities in partnership with others. Their commitment was obvious as Foster took his audience on a PowerPoint tour of his 50-year career in public health. But those who heard his last lecture already knew that his impact reached far beyond the borders of the school. Lagos, Nigeria, 1966-1970. When Foster was finishing a residency in pulmonary diseases at the University of California, San Francisco, a call came from the CDC. Would Foster like to go to Africa and get rid of smallpox? And could he decide by tomorrow? Foster had joined the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) at the CDC in 1962 and completed a two-year assignment that took him to Arizona to work with the Indian Health Service on trachoma, which affected 25% of schoolchildren.

    A NEW WAY OF LIVING TOGETHER: A HISTORY OF ATLANTA’S HIP COMMUNITY, 1965-1973 by CHRISTOPHER ALLEN HUFF (Under the Direction of Robert A. Pratt) ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses the history of Atlanta’s hip community, a complex grouping of radicals, hippies, antiwar supporters, underground journalists, street people, college activists and progressive social workers that existed from the mid-1960s until the first years of the 1970s. This project explores how a true community developed in the face of the region’s staunch social and political conservatism. While college administrators cautiously tolerated student activists, city officials attempted to rid the city of the hip district, the “Strip,” that developed in Midtown. This opposition, combined with a shared belief that a new nation needed to emerge out of the racism of the Jim Crow South, the destruction of the Vietnam War and the conformity of suburban Cold War America, created a communal identity which manifested itself in student movements, an underground newspaper, a diverse antiwar movement and a belief that parts of Atlanta belonged to hips. Developing slowly in the years after 1965, the hip community experienced its zenith from 1968 to 1970 when thousands of people demonstrated against the Vietnam War, moved into the Strip, and came together in multiple ways to solve their own problems in their own way. The introduction of heroin and other hard drugs along with an increase in the Strip’s population of addicts, vulnerable runaways and bikers threatened the recently achieved successes in Midtown, leading hips, private social service agencies, and local churches to work together at solving these problems.
